Sound works 'out of the box' with Angband 3.1.2 v2 on OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard). I even downloaded an extended sound set and was unsure how they should be enabled, but to my surprise just dropping the sounds into the 'sound' folder automatatically enable all the extra sounds. They quickly became annoying though so went back to the standard sound setup.

Well I have Windows 7 64bit, and I have *NO* sound whatsoever for the game (windows sound works and other games work with sound).
I enabled the sound option in =, but doesn't work at all still.

I'd really like my sounds to work, and I'd like to know where you got your extended sounds. (I think I found some more sounds to add).

When I'm using Angband, it doesn't even show up as a sound option in my sound mixer... and usually you can see those things there so you can enable sound or not for them in the OS, and change the volume.

When I go into Angband, the option to use sound is set to "yes" always.
I was going to load it up, say no, exit the game, come back, then say yes and then see if it works... but when I come back to it and say yes, it's already at yes.

It doesn't for me either, but it does work. I'm running Win 7 64-bit as well - although I have only tested in a virtual machine. This beats me.

Can you go into Angband and turn off sound option, exit, come back and is it on or off then?

It all works exactly as expected.

So you're saying you've only run Angband in a VM with Windows?

I'm seriously thinking this is a 64bit issue.
I bet you we won't get anyone telling us they have Windows 7 64bit running and they can play Angband with sound no problem.

I have a bootable Windows 7 64 bit partition on my Mac, which I can also open as a VM through OSX. I have been testing this in the VM. Later today I should have a chance to reboot into windows and try it natively.

One thing I thought - I am running Angband from a folder on my desktop. I know Win7 applies some extra rules when you have things installed in certain places (the Program Files folder, IIRC) - have you tried running it from somewhere else?
